If you can beat drugs and alcohol, you can definitely beat cancer. You said it wasn’t the fastest man or the strongest who survive, but it’s the smartest and the coldest to do so. You, Jake, are just that. You can beat cancer like the cold, calculating Snake you are. You fight and you win!

Best of luck with your fight against Cancer Jake. Cancer killed my Grandmother with a quickness because she found it way too late for anything to be done to fight it. So trust me, it is not something you ever want to see anybody have to go through. Hopefully Jake’s Doctor’s found it soon enough for them to treat it and for Jake to have a fair chance at fighting it. Good luck Jake. We are all with you.
